Filter by:Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the gingivitis, periodontal profile and malocclusion in children and adolescents with diabetes. Methods: The sample consisted of 36 children, who were distributed into two groups: DM; n=18 and NDM; n=18. Periodontal parameters considered were plaque Index (PI), gingival Index (GI), probing depth of pocket (PPD), gingival recession (GR) and clinical attachment level (CAL). Gingival biotype clinical parameters: Gingival transparency to probing, Height of keratinized mucosa and Gingival thickness on permanent incisors and molars. Malocclusion were evaluated by the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the Angle's Classification. The statistical analyses were Shapiro Wilk test and T test.
The diagnosis and differentiation between periodontal diseases are currently based on the measuring and interpretation of full-mouth clinical and radiographic criteria. Thermography is a modern non-invasive imaging method in which the infrared radiation emitted by an object allows the mapping and analysis of the exact temperature distribution on the surface of the object. The produced thermal images correlate with variations in local blood supply and tissue metabolism. Thus, suggested to be a useful rapid and non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of periodontal diseases. However, the validity of this tool compared to standard tools should be evaluated.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate non-surgical periodontal treatment in women and men with periodontitis with and without obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If non-surgical periodontal treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis can modulate the innate and adaptive immune response taking into account patient gender and the coexistence of obesity - If there are specific miRNAs that can regulate this immune response and can be considered as suitable biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Obese or non-obese participants with periodontitis will receive non-surgical periodontal treatment, consisting of oral health guidance and mechanical periodontal debridement throughout the mouth using an ultrasonic device and manual curettes. Researchers will compare four groups: obese women, non-obese women, obese men, and non-obese men, to clarify the involment of immune response after treatment, considering the coexistence of obesity and potential gender differences.
the research highlight the effectiveness of probiotics as adjuncts to SRP in the treatment of periodontitis stage III grade C molar-incisor pattern
Attached gingiva, a crucial component of the keratinized tissue, plays a vital role in preserving periodontal health. The free gingival graft (FGG) and modified apically repositioned flap (MARF) techniques are frequently used for addressing issues related to insufficient attached gingiva. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of the FGG and the MARF increasing the zone of attached gingiva in 2-year posttreatment.
The recently discovered association of the hormones 'asprosin, adropin and irisin' with obesity and metabolic status, as well as the fact that periodontal diseases are affected by obesity and nutrition bilaterally, have led us to investigate the relationship between selected target markers and periodontal disease. The primary aim and main objective of this study is to increase the knowledge and to direct future researches as a result of the lack of adequate research in the past and the very limited investigations with these hormones in dentistry and periodontology. Our study was conducted on 122 patients who applied to Adıyaman University Faculty of Dentistry and were referred to the Department of Periodontology for routine periodontal controls. Participants' gender, age, height, weight, BMI, education level, tooth brushing and flossing habits as well as clinical parameters PI, GI, SCD, CAS and SDI were noted. Participants were divided into 4 groups as healthy, gingivitis, initial periodontitis and advanced periodontitis and grouped according to the current periodontal classification of 2017. DOS was collected from the groups for examination and 'asprosin, adropin and irisin' values in the samples were evaluated by ELISA test.
The aim of this randomized, single-masked, controlled clinical trial study was to determine if the administration of electro acupuncture improves the outcomes obtained in combination with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Participants will get non-surgical periodontal therap with/without electro acupuncture. Researchers will compare EA and control groups to see if there is any relationship between acupuncture application clinical periodontal parameters,serum and saliva cytokine levels.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between sibship size, birth order, gingival health, and oral health habits in systematical healthy participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: question 1: Is there any association between birth order and gingival health? question 2: Is there any association between birth order and oral health habits? question 3: Is there any association between birth order, sibship size, childhood socioeconomic factors, perinatal characteristics, and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Periodontal Disease? Participants will simply have their routine periodontal examination, fill out the provided questionnaire, and continue their routine periodontal treatment.
This study aims to assess the diagnostic potential of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) biomarkers, specifically 8-iso Prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), in evaluating periodontal health and disease conditions.
The commensal oral bacteria are responsible for the initiation and propagation of the disease through the process of dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance. The disease proceeds cyclically with periods of activity and quiescence until therapeutic action is taken, or the tooth and surrounding structures are destroyed by the disease process that may result in the loss of the tooth. As periodontal disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, a greater number of anaerobic organisms colonize deeper periodontal pockets, such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which triggers the host inflammatory response. This response includes the production and dissemination of C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation, as well as various neutrophil and macrophage compounds such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and interleukins (IL-1 and IL-8). An elevated serum CRP level suggests that the inflammation arising as a result of periodontitis may correlate with cardiovascular pathology. Additionally, smoking creates an increasingly favorable environment for the growth of periodontal pathogens, thus furthering the disease process. In recent meta-analysis, published articles on the effect of saffron supplementation on three inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6) were evaluated. Combining eight eligible trials, it was demonstrated that saffron supplementation did not have a significant effect on serum levels of the three inflammatory biomarkers. However, in the subgroup analysis, saffron was found to significantly reduce CRP and TNF-α serum concentrations
